Create new guidelines on change.org that ethically restrict any petition campaign where the stated aim is to demand the censorship of any individual/group/institution by any individual/group/institution, either public or private.
The Issue
Whereas petition.org has become a factory for petition campaigns on the belief that petitions reflect public support for positive change, we call upon change.org to demonstrate this belief by respecting our petition and effectively restricting change.org from supporting campaigns aimed at pressuring for censorship of targeted people. Freedom of speech/expression is a vital human right and by permitting campaigns that call for silencing people in the public or private domains change.org not only fails to defend basic human rights but takes part in facilitating others to attack them. Place this restriction in change.org's terms of service and enforce it by deleting such campaigns when they are reported. This is a chance for change.org to make some important positive change of its own and show you put stock in your own petition system.
